Red Cross is desperate for blood donations. I mean even more desperate now than usual.
So while large gatherings are being cancelled or banned, they just sent an (apparently genuine) email saying that if I donate I could win a trip for 4 to the Indianapolis 500.
Skipping right past the question of whether I care about auto racing and dare to get on a plane now, will they even hold the event? With a (*temporarily*) live audience? Or would we get turned away at the gate?
And I’m in the age group that is supposed to stay home, avoid crowds and just watch kdramas. Staying home doesn’t even mix well with going to the blood donation center, much less getting on a plane. If they kill me off for the sake of one donation now, what would that mean for future donations? Do they take zombie blood? Their pre-screen questions don’t ask if you have ever been dead.
“Package includes four reserved seat grandstand tickets to the Indianapolis 500® Mile Race, four Garage & Pit Credentials and passes to attend a meet and greet opportunity with driver(s), round-trip airfare, three-night hotel accommodations (May 22–25), plus a $500 gift card for expenses”

But just think, if they have a terrible wreck they’d have donors right there ready to donate on the spot 🙂
